The differential inputs are ideal for direct connection to transduc- AND 16 BITS AT 1000Hz ers or low-level voltage signals. The delta-sigma architec- (cid:1) LOW POWER: 1.4mW ture is used for wide dynamic range and to ensure 22 bits of (cid:1) DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS no-missing-code performance. An effective resolution of 20 (cid:1) PROGRAMMABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER bits is achieved through the use of a very low-noise input (cid:1) SPI™ COMPATIBLE SSI INTERFACE amplifier at conversion rates up to 10Hz. Effective resolu- tions of 16 bits can be maintained up to a sample rate of (cid:1) PROGRAMMABLE CUTOFF FREQUENCY 1kHz through the use of the unique Turbo Modulator mode UP TO 6.25kHz of operation. The dynamic range of the converters is further (cid:1) INTERNAL/EXTERNAL REFERENCE increased by providing a low-noise programmable gain (cid:1) ON-CHIP SELF-CALIBRATION amplifier with a gain range of 1 to 16 in binary steps. (cid:1) ADS1213 INCLUDES 4-CHANNEL MUX The ADS1212 and ADS1213 are designed for high-resolution measurement applications in smart transmitters, industrial APPLICATIONS process control, weigh scales, chromatography and portable instrumentation. Both converters include a flexible synchro- (cid:1) INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL nous serial interface that is SPI compatible and also offers a (cid:1) INSTRUMENTATION two-wire control mode for low-cost isolation. (cid:1) BLOOD ANALYSIS The ADS1212 is a single channel converter and is offered in (cid:1) SMART TRANSMITTERS both DIP-18 and SO-18 packages. The ADS1213 includes a 4-channel input multiplexer and is available in DIP-24, (cid:1) PORTABLE INSTRUMENTS SO-24, and SSOP-28 packages.

It does not result in any change in input impedance design topology is based on a fully differential switched or modulator frequency, or any appreciable change in power capacitor architecture. Turbo Mode, a unique feature of the consumption. ADS1212/13, can be used to boost the sampling rate of the input capacitor, which is normally 7.8kHz with a 1MHz The ADS1212/13 also includes complete on-board calibra- clock. By programming the Command Register, the sam- tion that can correct for internal offset and gain errors or pling rate can be increased to 15.6kHz, 31.2kHz, 62.5kHz, limited external system errors. Internal calibration can be or 125kHz. Each increase in sample rate results in an run when needed, or automatically and continuously in the increase in performance when maintaining the same output background. System calibration can be run as needed and the data rate. appropriate input voltages must be provided to the ADS1212/ 13.

This feature allows for switching between various increasing the dynamic range of the converter and simplify- configurations—different data rates, Turbo Mode Rates, and ing the interface to the more common transducers (see Table gain settings—without re-calibrating.

This gain is implemented by increasing the number of samples taken by the input capacitor from 7.8kHz for a gain The various settings, rates, modes, and registers of the of 1 to 125kHz for a gain of 16.

Using CS and Continuous Read Mode The recommended solution to this problem is to actively pull The serial interface may make use of the CS signal, or this SDIO LOW. If SDIO is LOW when the ADS1212/13 enters input may simply be tied LOW. There are several issues the instruction byte, then the resulting instruction is a write associated with choosing to do one or the other. of one byte of data to the Data Output Register, which results in no internal operation. The CS signal does not directly control the tri-state condition of the SDOUT or SDIO output. These signals are normally If the SDIO signal cannot be actively pulled LOW, then in the tri-state condition. They only become active when another possibility is to time the initialization of the serial data is being transmitted from the ADS1212/13.

At power-up, the serial I/O lines of most microcontrollers and digital signal processors will be Slave Mode in a tri-state condition, or they will be configured as inputs. Most systems will use the ADS1212/13 in the Slave Mode. When power is applied to the ADS1212/13, it will begin This mode allows multiple instructions to be issued per operating as defined by the default condition of the Com- conversion period as well as allowing the main controller to mand Register (see Table X in the System Configuration set the serial clock frequency and pace the serial data section). This condition defines SDIO as the data output pin. transfer. The ADS1212/13 is in the Slave Mode when the MODE input is LOW.

There are two main uses of DSYNC. In the first case, DSYNC allows for synchronization of multiple converters. In regards to the DSYNC input pin, this case was discussed Two-Wire Interface under “Synchronizing Multiple Converters” in the Timing For a two-wire interface, the Master Mode of operation may section. In regards to the DSYNC bit, it will be difficult to be preferable. In this mode, serial communication occurs set all of the converter’s DSYNC bits at the same time only when data is ready, informing the main controller as to unless all of the converters are in the Slave Mode and the the status of the ADS1212/13. The disadvantages are that the same instruction can be sent to all of the converters at the ADS1212/13 must have a dedicated serial port on the main same time. controller and only one instruction can be issued per data ready period. The second use of DSYNC is to reset the modulator count to zero in order to obtain valid data as quickly as possible. In the Slave Mode, the main controller must read and write For example, if the input channel is changed on the ADS1213, to the ADS1212/13 “blindly.” Writes to the internal regis- the current conversion cycle will be a mix of the old channel ters, such as the Command Register or Offset Calibration and the new channels.

Synchronization involves configur- t DATA ing each ADS1212/13 to the same Decimation Ratio and Turbo Mode setting, and providing a common signal to the DRDY B X inputs. Then, the DSYNC signal is pulsed LOW (see IN t DATA Figure 22 in the Timing section). This results in an internal reset of the modulator count for the current conversion. DRDY C Thus, all the converters start counting from zero at the same time, producing a DRDY LOW signal at approximately the DSYNC same point (see Figure 36). t DATA FIGURE 36.
